The People's Climate March was BY FAR the largest climate action ever--The New York City march alone, which over 250 Delawareans participated in, had over 400,000 people in attendance; and that it was the most diverse climate action ever--maybe one of the most diverse actions period. From labor unionists to environmentalist and scientists to religious leaders, we sent a message loud and clear that climate change can no longer be seen as just an environmental issue, it's an everyone issue.

Save Energy, Save the World

On 9/21/2014 we made history. We joined millions around the world to demand climate action. We took our frustration, hope, despair, excitement and determination to the streets to show that we'll no longer sit idly by as our world leaders fail to meaningfully act on the most urgent challenge we have ever faced. World leaders are already beginning to take note.

From May 4th-8th I attended the 8th Annual Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington. The event is put on by the Alliance for Appalachia, a diverse coalition of groups fighting to end the absolutely devastating practice of MountainTop Removal coal mining. This is my "photo-blog" of the experience, which finished with a AWESOME day of action at the EPA demanding a rule on conductivity in water!!

The Burton Island coal ash dump from the NRG Indian River Power Plant is the subject of a remediation plan proposed by the company (NRG) and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). The DNREC hearing on the Plan, Feb 6, 2013, at the Millsboro Fire Hall brought more questions than answers.

The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club opposes this plan of remediation action for the Burton Island coal ash dump site.

Members of Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) and the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club are taking action against mountaintop removal coal mining through “Green Your Money”, a PNC Bank divestment campaign. On December 1, 2012 thirteen local participants with EQAT and the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club took a sample of tap water contaminated by mountaintop removal coal mining from Eunice, West Virginia into PNC Bank’s Hockessin Branch to show bank personnel and customers.
